Patent attributes
An information processing apparatus includes: a storage unit; and a control unit configured to acquire the locations of the plurality of autonomous driving vehicles on the map and the difficulty state information from the vehicles through communication, totalize the number of reports on the difficulty state information for each of levels of difficulty in each of traveling sections based on the vehicles locations and difficulty state information stored in the storage unit, determine whether the totalized number is equal to or more than a threshold value for each of the levels of difficulty and determine a traveling section, where at least one of the numbers of reports is equal to or more than the threshold value, as an autonomous driving difficult section, distribute to the vehicles the autonomous driving difficult section, and determine the autonomous driving difficult section with a smaller threshold value as the level of difficulty is higher.
